Statement of Romania, October, 2015

The Romanian Ministry of Defense has adopted an Action Plan aimed at implementing the seven resolutions in the field of women, peace and security. Based on our Constitutional provisions, it promotes a fair and balanced access of men and women, military or civilian personnel, to both senior-level and executive positions. As a result, we have women who reached the rank of general and, starting with 2009, there is an increased number of military female staff participating in international missions. Furthermore, women from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were deployed in UN, OSCE and EU peacekeeping and peacebuilding missions.
